Ideas for channels in your Discord server

So you've made a Discord server but don't have any ideas for channels to make? The good news is that we've compiled a list of popular channels! You might not use every channel idea listed here and might make up some of your own. This wikiHow article intends to give you some ideas for Discord channels.

Things You Should Know

  • It's easy to create new channels, but do you have any ideas for them?
  • Create a new channel by clicking or tapping the plus sign next to "Text" to add more text channels.
  • Create a poll for your server if you want ideas for channels to add!

Bot Channel

  1. To prevent bot command spam in your other channels (potentially disrupting convos), make a bot channel! This is where the members of your server give commands to bots.
    • You don't want to be discussing the intricacies of bagel making and have other people command ".play the safety dance" and then the bot responding to that command. Keep all those ".play" or other commands in a separate channel so your discussions aren't interrupted.

Announcement Channel

  1. Keep your server members up-to-date with an announcement channel. Edit the channel's permissions to make it so @everyone can't send messages to that channel. Instead, they can create threads to have out-of-the-way discussions about the updates!
    • If you're playing something like World of Warcraft, you can have multiple announcement channels, for each game, like #retail-announcements, #wotlk-announcements, and #classic-annoucements.

Charity Channel

  1. If your community participates in fundraising events, or if individual members tend to raise money for charities, this is the place to do it. Instead of their text potentially getting lost in the Welcome Channel, set them up with a Charity Channel!
    • This is great for games, like Guild Wars 2, that participate in fundraisers to raise money for charities! You can post updates and share stories to get that charity more interest!
10

FAQ Channel

  1. If you're asked the same questions over and over again, an FAQ Channel is your solution! You can post the questions and answers in this channel, then drag it up toward the top of your channel list for easier visibility.
    • If you're commonly asked how to get the Skyscale in Guild Wars 2, you can post the wiki to that achievement in a pinned post instead of having to repeat yourself over and over again!
